Sollerman, Dark Cosmology Centre, Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen University, report on spectroscopy of 2009ic (cf. CBET 1904) obtained with the Nordic Optical Telescope (+ ALFOSC; range 360-820 nm, resolution 1.5 nm) on Aug. 18.22 UT. Cross-corelation of the reduced spectrum of 2009ic with a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) shows it to be a type-Ia supernova about a month past maximum.
